    New shooting Iron

    This past week I made my usual visit to the local gunshop, just looking
    There was a Beretta Cougar (used) that looked pretty decent. Further down was something that caught my eye, FNP-45, a massive looking shooting iron. When I picked it up I noticed the polymer frame and stainless steel blackened slide. What really was a difference was three large capacity mags (14 rds) and a decent set of three point sights. It is a DA/SA and the DA trigger pull isn't bad at all. Comes in a nice carrying case with the usual trigger lock The shock was the price, $640 +$40 tax to the state of Ohio. I liked to died @ the price as I have never paid that much for any weapon, save for an M1a years ago. I said thanks but no thanks and went home. Stopped in again today, there she was just looking @ me and wanting to go home. Going to take her out tomorrow to my pistol range and see what a 230L loaded to +P velocities will do.

    large cap .45's

    I have a springfield xd in .45acp. The only thing I can say is buy a pair of suspenders. The pistol fully loaded and two spare mags on the belt will slide your trousers down.

    Went back to the gnshop yesterday and they had just recieved a supply of holster's. I picked up a nylon shoulder holster as my carry one. It can be converted to belt if I so desire and not a bad price at $50.00 Ron, I hate suspender's so that is the reason for the shoulder holster. Also, in Ohio, a LEO can "relieve" you of your firearm during a stop and I felt that a shoulder rig was the most practical to avoid handling a firearm. Some of our Ohio constabulatory isn't too sharp when it camoes to firearms. Thanks to our ex RINO governor, Ohio has a crazy CCW law's.

    You have that right Mr. Boggs. Somehow we have to get them corrected.
